This album with Les McCann knocked me straight out, baby! 1969 seminal jazz album 'live' in Montreux.

🎶 Les McCann & Eddie Harris put out a seminal album in 1969 called Swiss Movement, recorded 'live' at the Montreux Festival. Just so suh-weet! A Grammy for Best Jazz Performance small group, it reached #1 on Billboard's Jazz charts, #2 on the R&B chart, & #29 on the LP chart.🎶 (remember when LPs were the only way to fly!?) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/laeXopuVtZrKdnU.htmlsi=FcxjmAifTNMi3Vd

Twin Flames Tucson 1970's : packed house world class jazz Eddie Harris and Les McCann

Give it up for Eddie Harris , right here sounds like hes plugged into one of those early envelope filters . During the Swiss movement time period he improv'ed the "listen here" tune in through an echo-plex 💯% ❤

Eddie Harris.

That Intro of Aquarius - Just Brilliant

the casual, absolutely careless excellence is sublime...it just radiates off of them. and if i'm not mistaken this was a pick up band. love how you can kinda hear up les singing along with his playing as eddie leans on the piano

Eddie was jamming.

Ya kidding me? It wouldn't have killed them if they could've played that 2nd or 3rd verse Eddie Harris 'hard bop sax groove that he did ?

My brother did make it real,compared ....

Eddie Harris has been my mentor ever since I was a kid 1968 that's when I first started playing saxophone. I met Eddie Harris in person 1979 spectacular musician a really cool nice guy. I know we all miss him .

Never knew he was ambidextrous.

Y'all wild in a good way!!!! Kick it!!!

RIP Les 12/29/2023. 88. Thank you for all the living memories.

Compared To What??? " So Old School"!!

🤩🤩🤩🤩 One of my favorite songs!!!!!

not like that

44 years old and just discovered this song. Absolutely amazing.

Don’t let anybody tell you that the “Holy Spirit” isn’t alive & moving …. TYJ.👍🏽🙏🏽😎

Memories…. All good…My Dad, his 6:56 JBL “Hi-Fi “stereo with BOSE speakers, and a bottle of Scotch 🥃!! TYJ👍🏽🙏🏽😎

I want to to thank Spotify Discover Weekly list for leading me here to these wonderful joyous sounds. And those smokin' lyrics,.... Compared to What?!

I've liked jazz, in particular the sax, for many years but never stumbled across Eddie Harris. I have the Beastie Boys to thank for that..."Plug me in just like I was Eddie Harris, you're eating crazy cheese like you think I am from Paris" from their song "So what'cha want?". Then I Google Eddie Harris and voila I am now introduced to an awesome sax player I'd never heard of. Better to be lucky than good sometimes. And to find a gem like Eddie, its freaking beautiful.

I like the shapes he makes when he's jamming.❤ the rocking USA 🇺🇸

❤war so unnecessary today yesterday and tomorrow.

Music. Harmonic problems being worked out years before the changes become popular vernacular.

Joy of joys 😊 love the keys man and those horns

Great tune. Listen to, That is Why You're Overweight, for another good one.

That beggining rhythm pattern is pretty 'get ready ish', and he plays the melody of Aquarius isnt it. Nice groovy performance.

Casino brought me here

Keep music live....

Goddamit! Leroy Vinager laying ;that walking bass…

'Comment' (written by Charles Wright and Yusuf Rahman), as sung by Les McCann on Live at Montreux, changed my life, and me, forever.

❤

Denny Boy forever! I love you Dad...til we meet again.

I discovered Jazz with Jimy Smith when I was 9 years old, but this LP, was the real turning point in my life, the drummer makes this song floating in put it in top!!!

War; so unnecessary 😢...
